Stone Root (Collinsonin Canadenis) is said to get its name from one of two origins. The first, and most obvious, is from the rock-hard nature of the root of the plant. The other is said to be from its use in treating gallstones and kidney stones, which was collectively referred to as ''The Stone,'' among the frontiersmen afflicted with it. The plant itself possesses a strong lemon scent and is related to the mint family. Native American tribes, and pioneers after, were known to use it in treating cuts and wounds.Modern herbalism still recognizes it for these purposes, and Stone Root is sometimes used in a poultice for bruises, cuts, and sores. More commonly it is used in the treatment of kidney stones and fluid retention. As a diuretic, it can help ease the pain associated with these conditions or otherwise alleviate the problem.This is a 1 oz packet of Stone Root powder.
